THE ORGANIZATION OF both Houses

. Gray speaker and clerk and a Lore
sergeant-at-arms. The House has or
gAnized with Lore speaker and clsrk,
From these organizations 1t Is hard to
tell yet whether Gray or Lore is In the
rascendent. Most likely the psrcelling
out OF the offices was deal bet veen
the factions and no real test OF the
strength of either, though the election
Of Lore men to the two leading offices
in the House would indicate that the
Gray wing was powerless to prevent 1t.

proven right by years Of

EXTREMES OF CITY LIFE.

Is city life favorable to women?
In some respects yes, in others most
certainly no. The head of the great
dry goods firms was asked the other
day if he could give any idea of the
yearly aggregate of the bills of his
heaviest customers. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars, he SAID, one woman
had spent with him within q twelve
month, and several Others had grown
poorer to the extent of 100000 or
$4,000. Thirty thousand dollars
is not unheard Of as the price Of the
dress and toilet equipments of an
extravaganza city's extravagant
danes. At the other end of the
social scale the unwomanly employ
ments of the very poor are before
the eyes daily. The poorest woman
of great city are seen raking in the
ash barrels for bits Of coal, bags Of
fuel slung upon their backs; women
balancing heavy planks and broken
wood on their heads, pilfered from
houses in process Of erection; women
bent in anxiety over the offal buc-
kets for stray morsels to eat and
women on the snanty farms in sum-
mer doing as heavy out of door
drudgery as under any phase of the
Old World civilization on which we
suppose we have improved.--Phila-

GREAT BRITAIN.


London. March 1st.---In the
House of Commons tonight George
Howell, member for Bethnal Green,
an advanced Liberal, asked the Gov
eminent to assent to the appoint
ment of committee to inquire into
the corrupt expenditures by the
Corporation of London on bogus
meetings, the audiences at which
were hired to be present for the
purpose of defeating the bill for the
reform of the London local govern
ment. Howell said he had seen
documents which proved that mem
bers of the corporation had diverted
100000 of public moneys in an
effort to defeat the measure before
Parliament.
Gladstone declared that the mat
ter was of the greatest Importance,
and that an inquiry must be granted
in order to prove whether or not the
greatest corporation in the country
had misused its trust and adopted
illegal methods to pervert public
opinion or control legislative action.
Smith, First Lord of the Treasury,
without admitting the truth of the
statement, assented to the appoint
ment of the committee of inquiry.
The Government was loath to
consent to the demands of the Radi-
Gals in the House of Commons for a
committee to inquire into the charge
that the London Corporation was
using public moneys in sham agita-
tions against reform, but it did not
dare to refuse an investigation. The
sittings of the committee will be
public. 1t is claimed there are
abundant proofs that public moneys
have been used in getting up bogus
meetings and petitions, and it is as
serted that in the Corporation ac-
counts sums have been put down as
having been given to persons who
have in really no existence. The
evidence, it is said, does not incri-
inmate the higher members OF the
Corporation us individuals, although
it shows they assented to this loose
general application of the city's
funds.
The Irish Conservative members
Of Parliament at a conference to-day
determined to agitatein favor ofsus-
pending the debate on the procedure
rules and proceeding to q discussion
| of cnrcive measures for Ireland.
Parnell complained that the Irish
were unfairly treated, and he attri-
buted the Governments action to
the influence of Goschen.
Healy objected to confiding in q
Speaker in whose election the
Parnellites had no voice.
Gladstone supported Molloy's
amendment, but it was rejected
PAL to 1S6. Gladstone, Childers,
Harcourt, Morley and other Libe-
rails voted with the Parnellites.
Smith gave notice that tomorrow
the Government would move an
amendment to the effect that "any
Member may move to apply the
cloture, and unless it shall appear
to the Speaker that the motion is al
abuse of the rules of the House, OF
an infringement of the rights of the
minority, the question shall be put
forthwith"
Parnell, ON the ground that mem
bers were not given sufficient time
to consider this entirely new propo
sal, moved that the introduction o.
the amendment be postponed til
Friday. Sir William Vernon Har
court supported the motion, but il
was rejected--243 to 10.
